The C4 has landed (and gets it's first big drive)

This weekend we picked up our new toy the C4. We got quite a few surprises on it's first little journey. First of all we weren't really prepared for the reversing sensors which gave us a shock.

The glass roof is great, it's just like being the worlds quietest convertible. It's not quite the wind in the hair feeling of MinX but it's still great to have the sun streaming in.

Vanessa did most of the driving yesterday and it was a great car to be a passenger in. It also gave a good chance to work out some of the gadgets in the car. One of my favourite features is the HUD.

It's linked to most of the functions on the steering wheel or the stereo. We took it for a drive up to Montville today and it was the easiest drive I've had to do in a long time. We stopped at a couple of places and had a bit of a look at a few key spots but the main idea was to wear in the car. I've always been a fan of cruise control but the C4 also has speed limiting as well which made for a very easy drive up the highway without having to worry about breaking the limit and getting a flash from a camera. We also filled up the stacker with 5 discs and discovered just how well the automatic audio leveling worked (not that it ever got very loud in the car). It was a great smooth ride and will be a nice long distance car.
